This week the company released as open source the designs to a chip module it made to power deep learning in cars, robots, and smaller connected devices such as cameras. That module, the DLA for deep learning accelerator, is somewhat analogous to Apple’s neural engine. Nvidia plans to start shipping it next year in a…
Casa Jasmina is a prototype Italian family home, where most objects and services are made by open source, maker-style methods built in a derelict factory. Built in Torino, Italy by Jasmina Tesanovic and Bruce Sterling with the help of the Arduino organization, Casa Jasmina pushed the boundaries of what a home-automation system would be like…
SiFive announced the availability of the 64-bit, quad-core U54-MC Coreplex – the first Linux-ready application processor built around the open source RISC-V architecture. Fabricated with a TSMC’s 28nm HPC process, the real-time capable U54-MC Coreplex is the first multi-core RISC-V design, and the first to offer cache coherence. The processor is intended for AI, machine…
Let’s add a graphic touch display to our Arduino-like boards, with dedicated hardware and three libraries. After showing you four prototyping boards from the Fishino series (UNO, Fishino 32, MEGA, Guppy… and the fifth is on its way!), we started to feel the need to propose some electronics on the side. In particular,…
ASK.ME is an Arduino-controlled installation by Joan Raspo that brings this imaginary world to life as a geodesic dome that you can walk into. As a visitor enters inside, their presence is detected and they are greeted with a holographic image that invites them to ask a question. Once activated, the “ASK.ME” hologram changes and presents the visitor with a…
At World Maker Faire New York Arduino has unveiled the new Arduino MKR WAN 1300 and the Arduino MKR GSM 1400, two new boards that are designed to offer a practical and cost-effective solution for developers, makers and enterprises. The new Arduino MKR WAN 1300 is based around the Murata LoRa low-power connectivity module and the…
Our Arduino compatible board Fishino acquires a new functionality, upload and updating of sketches over wireless, without the need of a wired connection. Being able to program the Fishino board on the field, without physically connection to the USB port of a computer nor being limited to the IDE Arduino/Fishino, that was one of…
The Telegea Smart Hub is designed to be a gateway between the real world and the communication network targeted mainly at IoT applications. It is a custom hardware built around the RaspberryPi Compute Module and therefore compatible with the software from the RaspberryPi ecosystem. It provides a number of standard interfaces for sensors to acquire…
GSM0308-11 is an Enfora Enabler IIIG Quad-Band GSM/GPRS module with B2B RF connector and SIM holder. The Enfora Enabler IIIG is a fully certified quad-band OEM module family that packs complete GSM/GPRS functionality into a compact footprint. The embedded software environment enables development of mobile connectivity and device intelligence by utilizing built-in program rules engine,…
Lime Microsystems has unveiled a size- and cost-reduced variant of the LimeSDR board that it launched last year. The LimeSDR Mini is a free and open source project that supports the company’s entirely open-source LimeSuite host-side software that supports a range of SDRs. At 69 x 31.4mm, the LimeSDR Mini is about one-third the size of the original model,…
NEC Display Solutions Europe has announced a collaboration with Canonical Screenly . The intent will create a synergy between the NEC displays, the Raspberry, the Ubuntu Core OS and the Screenly platform. The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 (CM3) can be integrated with all & NEC Series P and V display, available in 40 “, 48” and 55 “cuts. Ubuntu Core is the operating…
A Danish startup called AutoPi.io has gone to Kickstarter to launch a Raspberry Pi Zero W based AutoPi dongle that plugs into the same OBD-II port that automotive repair people use to run diagnostics and tap other telematics features. AutoPi.io intends to establish the AutoPi and its associated cloud service as an affordable, open platform…
